(00:17):
Oh, and welcome to go aroundto walk to the podcast. My name
is Steve and joining me is you'reflossing? Why are you flossing? Oh?
It just gets me in the mood, you know, gets the shit
out of my teeth, I guess. I mean, if you were flossing
with actual floss, I could getit. But you're doing the It is
the floss even still a thing?No, it's not. No, I'm
(00:39):
a dad, so I'm supposed todo things are out of fashion. Speaking
of things that out of fashion,I mean there is this podcast, but
the so when everyone's going to fuckingpodcasting, Oh, everyone are uni podcasting?
Yeah, fucking loam. Anyway,we were first one of Yeah,
like ten years later it's still wentup to Sydney for the Women's World Cup's
(01:04):
why we've been a bit delayed.It's been a wil since we've done.
And that happened to you nicely hadfun Sydney. That was probably one of
the downsides. But you know,we went to the Women's World Cup final,
the Matilda's congratulations on their fucking performance. It was until we got we
had that button. Yeah, we'vegot the button. It's better than my
fapping noise. Oh, I don'tknow. I find it soothing. It
(01:30):
is challenging. It's challenging, andthe fact that you did it with one
head is very impressive. But thingsthat are sort of daggy seemed to be
cool again. I mean, yeah, I mean we're looking at fashion these
days. It's there are people whowere wearing Legioneers caps. The dirty mo
(01:51):
with the mullet seems to be back. I mean people are pretty much dressing
like our fathers did back in thenineties. Yeah, it's like it's more
nineties homes. You look the better, yes, true. But something that
an artist that when I say thisartist, you probably think that's kind of
lame. Nicky Webster, right,all of a sudden, though, Nicky
(02:13):
Webster's back back in Vogue. Isaw her at the she sung at the
at the opening for the thing,or she was singing with the Matilda tones
and eyes sung at the final.Yeah, Nicky Webster sung somewhere. She
sung somewhere, but I was likesome ceremony things but tones and I was
awesome though, I'm sure, butI yeah, anywhere, good good good
(02:38):
on living it in a car fouryears ago. True, and now she's
up on the big stage, youknow, yeah, Women's World Cup.
I think she's a good musician anyway, Yeah, not fair enough. She
isn't the Tones and Eye Show,Steve. It's the camon I Show.
So we're at the Foreign All.There's like seventy five thousand people, you
(02:59):
know, Baane Wine, good onand well played. We're heading to the
train station afterwards, and we're walkingthere and it's just packed. There's so
many people. And as we're standingthere, we could just hear this singing
sort of coming from over our shoulders, and it was a bunch of girls
who were late teens, early twenties, all belting out strawberry kisses at the
(03:19):
top of their loans. It's reallylike it's made of resurgence. Yeah,
pretty dad, wasn't nicky whipster forlike primary school kids? Yeah? And
it was Sydney two thousand Olympics,wasn't it. Yeah? So what is
she like sixty now? Is it? Is it part of that kind of
I don't think she's sixty. No, she was young then. I think
it was fourteen or something back then, Younger than us. Yeah, well
(03:42):
probably, but I've been missing strawberrykisses though. Nothing tastes so sweet.
I don't know the next line.I don't know. I don't know.
I don't even know what I meantby missing us strawberry kisses on. I
don't think I had them in thefirst place. So they're all screaming a
song out. Yeah, but Idon't know if it's ronnick or if it's
this whole kind of everything that oncewas daggy is now cool thing. Oh
(04:04):
god, I hope, so,Steve, we'd finally be in, We'd
finally be cool. Yeah, we'dbe in with all this crowd. Yeah,
but enough about Nicky Webster, andwe have got other music to talk
about. We've got so much totalk about, so much soever with tones
at night? On your tones?On your tones? No? Yeah,
(04:25):
what have we got sleeve? Wheredo we even start at the moment?
Well, you know what if whathave you? You went to a gig
the other night? Oh, soUnwritten Law? You went to see Unwritten
Law? How was Unwritten Law?I love Unwritten Law? Steve? Yeah,
it was so good? Sorry good? Yeah, So if you go
back to our high school, probablyone of their most famous songs was Kalen
(04:47):
Hey little Girl, look watch YouDo? Song about his daughter. You
know, awesome song. If youknow Unwritten Law, you know their song
Kaylin. First support was Kaylin Russo, Scott the Singers's daughter. Yeah,
Scott Russo's daughter. She came outand did sort of it was just her
(05:13):
singing with a backing track. Soit was different to having a you know,
like a punky kind of band beforehand. But it was good. Yeah,
probably more like billy eyelash style,okay, but the one of the
best things of the gig was theyobviously played Kaylin and she come up and
she's like hugging dad and talking andsinging along as well. It was really
(05:38):
cool. But yeah, one thingI noticed in the crowd was everyone was
so friendly. Yeah, there wasa huge line for the beers and stuff
like that, and everyone was justchatting and like if you didn't know each
other and stuff like that was reallycool. It was like old times.
Yeah, we used to go togigs simpler young Yeah. I mean every
(05:59):
gig I've gone too in the pastfew years where there's also like a young
element, a young element, ayounger crowd as well. Everyone's just on
pingers. Everyone's just you know,their eyeballs just look like dinner plates,
like they're just fucking spaced out.You know. It's good to know that
there can be some friendly people outthere just it's just having having a few
(06:19):
drinks and joining some music. Everyone'sjust so stoked to see Unwritten Law when
you think about it. Back inthe day when they came out, they
were just as big as Blink,you know, and kind of Peter though.
Yeah they're from peulwee In, youknow, San Diego ye, but
(06:41):
yeah, as the like we sortof stood at the back and what happened
to just watch tonight, you know, and then another song come on,
We're sort of edged forward a bitmore. And then by the end of
it and in the mosh pit,yeah, getting covered in beer and stuff,
I don't care. It was awesome. And last song and had a
special guest Steve who was it,Kim Phil Jam from Grinspoon really come out
(07:01):
and sung more than You Are andit was the crowd was freaking going off,

But you know what, fuck it. We're living life. We're living life
(16:45):
to the extreme. And I'll tellyou what. Talking about saving money for
tickets, Oh okay, mmm,you want to talk good things. All
good things come to those who wait. And I think we've waited long enough.
I think we have waited long enough. There was no Good Things last
year. It was it was online, wasn't it was a virtual thing,
wasn't it that download download? Yeah, they didn't do it last year.
(17:10):
Yeah, because of covered far outReally that's right. Yeah, that's a
thing I think. So I thinkthe last Good Things was the one that
we did interviews at. It wasso simple plan Yeah, yeah, I
was twenty nineteen. That was sucha freaking good year. It was.
It was a good years only twentynineteen. So we're talking Steve, We're
(17:33):
talking went Biscuit, Yes, fallOut Boy, Devo their fiftieth anniversary farewell
tour. I can unbelievable. AndI mean, this is this, this
festival, I don't even know ifit knows what it wants to be.
No, it's I mean you've got, like I suppose Good Things always sort
of been like that, but yeah, yes, I mean you've got like
(17:56):
artists like Bullet for my Valentine it'sobviously a lot he yah. And then
you've got someone like Corey Taylor,which I mean I don't know if he's
going to be doing Slipknot staff orStone Seal staff or his critically underachieved solo
staff. Who knows, maybe he'sjust going to sing SpongeBob the whole time.
He could just sing SpongeBob, Septa, Sepultura. And then you've got
(18:19):
AUSSI bands like Spider Bait, JebbaDaia Friends or Romskimo Joe, Slowly Slowly
Boom Crash Opera, Friends of garatRock Stand Atlantic. There's so many.
Yeah, it is quite an eclecticmix. That's cool. It'd be cool
to see Limp Best Kit again,Limp Biscuit again. I mean we saw
(18:41):
them a download. We're in thephoto pit for them a download. I
remember sneaking in there with you.That was because the photo pit, for
for those of the uninitiated. Yeah, when there's cons it's usually what the
first two maybe three songs, photopit, get the press in there,
they take their snap and then theyleave, get in and get out exactly.
(19:03):
And it's for those who have photopasses and who have actual cameras,
And for some reason they let usin there with our media passes and our
mobile phones, and we're like justgiddy little schoolgirls. We're like, fucking
now, we're pretty close, aren'twe come in here? All this friend
dust this, and then and thenthey started playing and we're like, oh
(19:25):
mash, we're gonna wash up anddown and they're like, not cool it
down, pull it down. Andwe're being professionals right now with our cameras
in our phones. Yeah. Yeah, time experience, So we should try
to get it again. I cansee if I can maybe pull off these
strings what I can do, butprobably not, but we'll give it a
go. Give it a red hotcrack if you will. You don't speaking
(19:45):
of a red hot crack or beblack, No, I've got no idea
to be honest, miss who's black? Missus black? But yeah, so
good things. Festivals are tickets twohundred and twenty five dollars or you could
also do it in a payment planand I think it's like a two hundred
and forty dollars, like two paymentsof one twenty each. Yeah, I
believe. So that's going to beinteresting Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane shows.
(20:10):
I mean, be there, bsquare or be a chair, I don't
know, it's going to be interestingif you're a band on that on that
tour, that that's it's just adream for him, Yeah, because it's
you know, they're space apart there. It's just three. There's not much
hell of what a trump I rememberin Dave Grohl's book The Storyteller. It's
(20:33):
cool. Yeah, it's on,it's on. I actually know my mum's
borrowed that book. Oh god.He's like when they used to do the
Big Day out to it, whichis similar to this, except they used
to go to Perth as well,and like New Zealand, they used to
call the Big Day off because asfar as tours go, like they'd get
good money and obviously only have toplay like five cities. Yeah, it's
(20:59):
too own. And they would beon the weekends as well. So I
have a week off in between eachand a few days or whatever and just
go hang out, hang out,just go go surfing on the coast with
Pearl Jam got drunk on mopeds theGold Coast and stuff. Yeah. Yeah,
because that's because Dave Grohl has toevery time he comes into Australia,
(21:21):
he has to declare that he hasbeen arrested in the country before driving under
the influence exactly. Yeah, Andhe's just usually get to customs and they
ask what have I done, andit's just like I got drunken, went
on a moped and we all laughand then take a few photos with him
and then just move on. It'spretty much just every other Hawkins did too.
But he's off that now. Yeah, true Jesus or too soon?
(21:45):
Who soon? If it's someone youcare about, it it hurts it gets
me right here, it hurts metoo, but it's my way of coping.
Yeah, No, I agree,I just chrome, that's my name's
just getting over. I thought youwere covering from well eight pussy is a
piece of skin wrapped in a pocket. Now now we do have some other
(22:07):
tours to talk about. Boy andBear, Yes, boy and Bear.
I remember we interviewed them at fatAs Butter Music in Newcastle back in ages
ago. That can also yes,did you do that interview? Was one
of the girls? I think Ithink Crusty Yeah, well Crusty r Catherine
on one of the girls. AndI think we also did them again at
(22:30):
What's the one in Bendigo. Hada few chats with Boy Bear over the
years. Good Travels might have achat with them again soon, perhaps the
day motherfuckering again they are the MockerArcher and again they've got a whole bunch
of shows throughout September, October andNovember. Can I'm trying to be so
(22:52):
serious? Sorry, I thought Ididn't realize that was into the micro telephone.
You literally wrapped your mouth around themicro telephone. You were going all
all very black around it, andit was just that was a big bird.
It was a big bird. I'msorry, no disrespect to Boy and
Beer, but that that had tohappen. Can I have that? Boy
and Bear and Burp? That wasall has happened. It was one of
(23:14):
those ones. I can taste alittle bit of spuw. Really, Yeah,
I believe they call it a verb, which is like a vomit burp.
It's a verp, but it's notburp's narts from grown ups. You
haven't seen grown up, I think, so I can't remember fart and sneeze.
We've all been there. But yeah, So essentially, Boy and Bear.
(23:37):
They've released some songs from their albumHarlequin dream which didn't get released on
the actual album. So they've gota new EP called Lost Dreams because they
went on Harlequin Dreams though they wereLost Dreams. It all makes sense in
the wash. So they've got theirnew single Abraham. Now we don't.
We don't have music on our showanymore. We couldn't be paying appra Amcoss
(24:00):
anymore. So do yourself a favorite, stealing something else, do yourself as
solid, do yourself as solid,and go check it out right now maybe
wait till this the podcasts finished.We can't compete with Bob, we can't
compete with shit, We can't competewith a lot. But tell you what,
(24:22):
someone now, someone who we've featuredon Garage Rock twice before and who
knows, maybe in the future,could be Thrice. Bob Evans, oh
the luscious Bobby didn't. Yes,Kevin Mitchell from Jebbidia also Bob Evans.
He's doing a new tour which iswhen Kevin met Bob, and it's half
(24:45):
Jebbidyer half Bob Evans. I lovethis idea, and I also love the
artwork on the post though. It'sKevin Mitchell with like electric guitar and an
AMP and stuff, and then theother half Bob Evans with an acoustic guitar,
and I just think it's brilliant.I think it'd be so fun because
I think I've seen Bob Evans onlyonce and that was it the big day
(25:07):
out. Do you remember when newsplays Yep, yeah, I want to
say two thousand maybe norns. Itwas around then. I was around that
time. I remember, I think, so, why are you gyrating again
in front of me? Saw backin hips? Saw back in hips?
Yeah, saw hipping backs. Butyeah, Bob Evans, Yeah, so
(25:30):
it'd be awesome to see him again. But he's playing at the SPN Saint
Kilda, isn't he. Yeah,it's got quite a few shows coming up
this September and October, and acheecken one in Keyns in November as well.
That's where the baked beans ended upin cans and Jesus, I dropped
that fucking hook line walk and assoon as you said it, like I
(25:52):
think I've broke my nose, Iwalked into that hard. But yeah,
when seen looks so appointed in thisfile, oh god, it's I am.
I am disappointed in myself after thatserious unpucking hope. It's a time.
If I fell into a barrel ofnipples, I'd probably come out stuck
on my thumb. Anyway, WhenkeV met Bob the Anthology Concert Tour September
(26:18):
to November check out Bob Evans dotcom dot au for tickets and yeah,
have herself a good old time.That'd be awesome. I haven't seen a
gig at the sp Girlfriend Room fora long time, A long time.
I was there recently. Do Isee a loser? I think we're still
there. Yeah, I remember whenyears ago my old band played there and
(26:44):
we played at the St. KildaFestival before Kamal Kamal. There you go,
that's that's one that we supported.Kamal took met artists just supported.
Kamal would have to be right upthere. Oh definitely. The room was
packed for him and then we playedand it was empty. Would you prefer
a baby goat or a matter baby? What's what's a matter baby? Nothing
(27:10):
much sugar in yourself? Jesus sohard that I'm even more disappointed than before.
Matter? Would you man? Thatis? That is atrocious? So
there's this dad joke sessions now orsomething. I don't know, Christ,
(27:30):
I'm embarrassed. I am actually gonered. Oh I was already there,
let's face it. But oh actuallya woman. Sorry, I just got
excited. I saw an ad righton Instagram and now I just see it
all the time because that's how theworld works these days. Yeah, you
accidentally interact with something once, allof a sudden, it's following your home.
(27:52):
If you're not playing for the product, you are the product. Yes,
actually there's a lot of people,strange people following me home because I
mean we're you've come up north,we're recording it for the idea where I
am Steve. That is well,you're in my office surrounded with with my
food Fighter artwork and my Saints stuffeverywhere. And by the way, Karna
(28:15):
Saints Finals, Saint as Final.Yes, I can't wait to get kicked
out first round anyway, It's goingto be fun. But yeah, no,
there's so many just weird people upthe north who keep following me home.
There's a homeless guy right the way. If he was following me the
other day, he was already home, he was pretty much so he's got
(28:38):
his set up on the street andI've walked past. I had an ear
infection recently which wasn't good, andit didn't it didn't hurt, and then
I was just swearing your earphones,well, you should have remember to bring
your own next time. It's theonly thing I bring to this pip.
(29:00):
But don't you bring him? Bringthat you bring dad jokes? Anyway,
I've gone there and he's just like, look, he you need these ear
drops. And I was like,all right, fine, go to the
chemist, get me eardrops and this. I'd walk past this guy and he
was rolling a big fat joint asI walked past. I'm good on him.
It's four twenty somewhere. So Iwalking walking past get my ear drops
(29:22):
and I walk past the homeless guyagain on my way back to the car,
and he's got he's joint in hismouth and he's just like, oh
man, what's you got in thechemist bag man? And I'm like fucking
ear drops like and he's just like, can I have something? What are
you trying to get high frock?Yes? Of course, yeah, the
(29:45):
good old Jim Beam eardrops. Butno, we wanted to do you wanted?
And he was kept like walking afterme. He's he's like smoking his
mouth. He's just like, ma, what do you really got? I'm
like, fucking eardrops, leave mealone, and he just kept walking.
I'm like, Noah, and Ithink he walked into a pole or something.
I know, maybe you've lost range. You just stopped following me,
(30:06):
but I can't say you follow mehome anyway. Getting back this product I
saw, and this might interest you, right because I know you love beating
it. So there's this product Ifound and there these drum sticks and they've
got like haptic feedback and everything likethat. And you can play invisible drums
with these sticks, and you putyour headphones on and you've got a couple
(30:29):
of little pedals that you sort oflike well the buttons really with your feet,
so and you can play bass,you know, kick and your high
hats. And then you just movethese sticks around and it knows from where
your hands placing them, well,where you're hitting the sticks, and it
generates that sound into your headphones.Have you used them? I haven't,
but I'm very curious how much twohundred bucks really we're from the internet.
(30:55):
I don't know, but I justsaw this demo and I'm like, yeah,
this guy's like rock now and thenhe just touched Yeah, and you
can sound like the different kind ofa lot like sense yes, and this
time is but it's yet feedback.So when when you hit a snare and
it makes the noise, it givesyou a little feedback in your hands,
so it feels like you've hit somethingand everything, and I'm curious. But
(31:18):
it's kind of something that I thinkI'll play with for half an hour and
then never touch again. Perfect.Perfect, Get it, Steve, get
it so I can have it.I don't know, I want to.
I kind of want It's kind oflike VR when people get like PlayStation VR.
I'm like, oh, that's thatlooks cool and it's just like,
yeah, it's like seven hundred bucks, and I'm like, yeah, I'll
probably play it once in the mill, like you've got enough room in here,
(31:40):
you spend a bit of money andget a bloody electric drum kit.
That'd be sir. I don't know. I'd probably get over it pretty quickly
because I wouldn't be that good atit. And then it's just like,
oh, well that was good.Seven hundred bucks for an electronic drum kit.
Yeah, that's pretty much. Althoughthe one thing I could do is
(32:01):
this Stefana gotta Rushana. So anyway, we kind of we've we've hit the
wall. We are rambling. Isthere anything else you want to talk about?
(32:22):
Well, there was this one timewhen I was in prep and we
weren't allowed to pick up sticks,yeah, in school, and they're dangerous.
There was this guy, this kid, yeah, he wasn't a guy
because he was a kid. Yeah, and he bought a stick into the
classroom get fucked, and he deniedit even though he had it under a
(32:47):
ship. It was poking out likea fucking like docs palls. I thought
this story was going somewhere. Ithought it was at least going somewhere.
I can't believe how stupid that storyisn't funny. We're fun because because I
(33:08):
remember so two stories from primary schoolonce and you a girl who got almost
lost an eye because someone threw astick at him. So that was exactly
Let alone hide. I'm under yourjump. I'm pretending it's not there,
even though it's sticking out. That'swhat stick still with the fucking stick.
(33:31):
I just never twigged anyway, Sojust leave that one alone. Oh God,
maybe you need to branch out andhave some new material. It doesn't
matter. We're going out on alimb here. Good roots to that joke.
Yeah, Oh god, anyway tookme about primary school stories? There
was because what else is here?Probably I remember? So, hey,
(33:53):
look there's a barrel. Let's scrapeit. Yes, it gets I mean,
that's that's our best material. Areal is usually just going, fuck
it, what do we want totalk about next? I'm finally getting into
it. Yes, thirty seconds agoyou were dead asleep and had no idea
order to go and talk about astick story. Yes. So I remember
we were talking about the Beach Boysin primary school, like grade three,
(34:17):
grade four, something like that,and one of the kids said he,
Miss, I've got a Beach Boystape at home. Why don't I bring
it in tomorrow we can listen tosome Beach Boys, right, And the
teachers just like, that's a greatidea, mind you. This kid was
the school knobhead, right, eveneven when we were seven years old.
It's just like, this guy's goingto jail totally talking about yourself. Oh
(34:39):
no, no, no, itwasn't into the Beach Boys. And so
anyway, this guy's come into schoolthe next day and he's, oh,
I've got the tape tape miss BeachBoys written, No, okay, cool,
put it in right, and she'sjust like, what song is it?
It's just like good vibrations? Okay, cool, say this song is
cool? Cool? Anyway, Soin the background, he's turned the fucking
volume up to eleven, right,and then she's just like, so here
(35:01):
we're going to have this is goodvibrations and she pressed play and all I
can remember as a seven year oldchild of the words let your motherfucking ask
sweat. And then by the time, by the time that had been blasted
out in some gangster rap, she'sturned it off and he got he was
suspended for quite a while, butthat story. Who I have got no
(35:24):
idea I should google the lyrics letyour motherfucking ask. Every part of my
being thought that you were going tosay. He turned the music on up
loud, and it was, hey, Santa Claus, you can't where's me
fucking bike? Because I remember somekid in primary school bought a boombox to
(35:44):
school. Forget about asking to teachyou to put it on hers. Yeah,

parting notes? Well, there wasthis one time when I was in high
school. Yeah, and I wentto go do a wei in the toilet
and someone had grabbed a piece ofpool and smeared it all over the mirrors.
(37:13):
Why is that? This is amusic podcast, By the way,
For those of you joining us againthis week, I'm not. That's not
a joke, that's a true story. I'm not. We went to Frankston.
I know that that is pretty muchjust how things are. But on
that note, on that che Ijust remember the janitor guy, like we're
not that, we said janitor,but the cleaner guy he walked there.
(37:37):
Oh god, because by that timeeveryone knew and everyone was like daring each
other to go in and look atit. And the janitor went in there
and we saw him walk out andhe just looked wide as it goes,
and the said, I'm not fuckingcleaning. And on that brown note that
(37:58):
brings our shottle clothes, I've beenonce again, Steve, you've been once
again, and this one time.No I'm joking. Yes, I've been.
Camaroni nineties. Goodbye everyone, allright, goodbye? Oh this yeah,
Oh, and welcome to go aroundto walk to the podcast. My name
is Steve and joining me is you'reflossing? Why are you flossing? Oh?
It just gets me in the mood, you know, gets the shit
out of my teeth, I guess. I mean, if you were flossing
with actual floss, I could getit. But you're doing the It is
the floss even still a thing?No, it's not. No, I'm
(00:39):
a dad, so I'm supposed todo things are out of fashion. Speaking
of things that out of fashion,I mean there is this podcast, but
the so when everyone's going to fuckingpodcasting, Oh, everyone are uni podcasting?
Yeah, fucking loam. Anyway,we were first one of Yeah,
like ten years later it's still wentup to Sydney for the Women's World Cup's
(01:04):
why we've been a bit delayed.It's been a wil since we've done.
And that happened to you nicely hadfun Sydney. That was probably one of
the downsides. But you know,we went to the Women's World Cup final,
the Matilda's congratulations on their fucking performance. It was until we got we
had that button. Yeah, we'vegot the button. It's better than my
fapping noise. Oh, I don'tknow. I find it soothing. It
(01:30):
is challenging. It's challenging, andthe fact that you did it with one
head is very impressive. But thingsthat are sort of daggy seemed to be
cool again. I mean, yeah, I mean we're looking at fashion these
days. It's there are people whowere wearing Legioneers caps. The dirty mo
(01:51):
with the mullet seems to be back. I mean people are pretty much dressing
like our fathers did back in thenineties. Yeah, it's like it's more
nineties homes. You look the better, yes, true. But something that
an artist that when I say thisartist, you probably think that's kind of
lame. Nicky Webster, right,all of a sudden, though, Nicky
(02:13):
Webster's back back in Vogue. Isaw her at the she sung at the
at the opening for the thing,or she was singing with the Matilda tones
and eyes sung at the final.Yeah, Nicky Webster sung somewhere. She
sung somewhere, but I was likesome ceremony things but tones and I was
awesome though, I'm sure, butI yeah, anywhere, good good good
(02:38):
on living it in a car fouryears ago. True, and now she's
up on the big stage, youknow, yeah, Women's World Cup.
I think she's a good musician anyway, Yeah, not fair enough. She
isn't the Tones and Eye Show,Steve. It's the camon I Show.
So we're at the Foreign All.There's like seventy five thousand people, you
(02:59):
know, Baane Wine, good onand well played. We're heading to the
train station afterwards, and we're walkingthere and it's just packed. There's so
many people. And as we're standingthere, we could just hear this singing
sort of coming from over our shoulders, and it was a bunch of girls
who were late teens, early twenties, all belting out strawberry kisses at the
(03:19):
top of their loans. It's reallylike it's made of resurgence. Yeah,
pretty dad, wasn't nicky whipster forlike primary school kids? Yeah? And
it was Sydney two thousand Olympics,wasn't it. Yeah? So what is
she like sixty now? Is it? Is it part of that kind of
I don't think she's sixty. No, she was young then. I think
it was fourteen or something back then, Younger than us. Yeah, well
(03:42):
probably, but I've been missing strawberrykisses though. Nothing tastes so sweet.
I don't know the next line.I don't know. I don't know.
I don't even know what I meantby missing us strawberry kisses on. I
don't think I had them in thefirst place. So they're all screaming a
song out. Yeah, but Idon't know if it's ronnick or if it's
this whole kind of everything that oncewas daggy is now cool thing. Oh
(04:04):
god, I hope, so,Steve, we'd finally be in, We'd
finally be cool. Yeah, we'dbe in with all this crowd. Yeah,
but enough about Nicky Webster, andwe have got other music to talk
about. We've got so much totalk about, so much soever with tones
at night? On your tones?On your tones? No? Yeah,
(04:25):
what have we got sleeve? Wheredo we even start at the moment?
Well, you know what if whathave you? You went to a gig
the other night? Oh, soUnwritten Law? You went to see Unwritten
Law? How was Unwritten Law?I love Unwritten Law? Steve? Yeah,
it was so good? Sorry good? Yeah, So if you go
back to our high school, probablyone of their most famous songs was Kalen
(04:47):
Hey little Girl, look watch YouDo? Song about his daughter. You
know, awesome song. If youknow Unwritten Law, you know their song
Kaylin. First support was Kaylin Russo, Scott the Singers's daughter. Yeah,
Scott Russo's daughter. She came outand did sort of it was just her
(05:13):
singing with a backing track. Soit was different to having a you know,
like a punky kind of band beforehand. But it was good. Yeah,
probably more like billy eyelash style,okay, but the one of the
best things of the gig was theyobviously played Kaylin and she come up and
she's like hugging dad and talking andsinging along as well. It was really
(05:38):
cool. But yeah, one thingI noticed in the crowd was everyone was
so friendly. Yeah, there wasa huge line for the beers and stuff
like that, and everyone was justchatting and like if you didn't know each
other and stuff like that was reallycool. It was like old times.
Yeah, we used to go togigs simpler young Yeah. I mean every
(05:59):
gig I've gone too in the pastfew years where there's also like a young
element, a young element, ayounger crowd as well. Everyone's just on
pingers. Everyone's just you know,their eyeballs just look like dinner plates,
like they're just fucking spaced out.You know. It's good to know that
there can be some friendly people outthere just it's just having having a few
(06:19):
drinks and joining some music. Everyone'sjust so stoked to see Unwritten Law when
you think about it. Back inthe day when they came out, they
were just as big as Blink,you know, and kind of Peter though.
Yeah they're from peulwee In, youknow, San Diego ye, but
(06:41):
yeah, as the like we sortof stood at the back and what happened
to just watch tonight, you know, and then another song come on,
We're sort of edged forward a bitmore. And then by the end of
it and in the mosh pit,yeah, getting covered in beer and stuff,
I don't care. It was awesome. And last song and had a
special guest Steve who was it,Kim Phil Jam from Grinspoon really come out
(07:01):
and sung more than You Are andit was the crowd was freaking going off,
although going off before that, andit was again I find myself standing
there going I don't want this toend. Yeah, And it's been like

strings what I can do, butprobably not, but we'll give it a
go. Give it a red hotcrack if you will. You don't speaking
(19:45):
of a red hot crack or beblack, No, I've got no idea
to be honest, miss who's black? Missus black? But yeah, so
good things. Festivals are tickets twohundred and twenty five dollars or you could
also do it in a payment planand I think it's like a two hundred
and forty dollars, like two paymentsof one twenty each. Yeah, I
believe. So that's going to beinteresting Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane shows.
(20:10):
I mean, be there, bsquare or be a chair, I don't
know, it's going to be interestingif you're a band on that on that
tour, that that's it's just adream for him, Yeah, because it's
you know, they're space apart there. It's just three. There's not much
hell of what a trump I rememberin Dave Grohl's book The Storyteller. It's
(20:33):
cool. Yeah, it's on,it's on. I actually know my mum's
borrowed that book. Oh god.He's like when they used to do the
Big Day out to it, whichis similar to this, except they used
to go to Perth as well,and like New Zealand, they used to
call the Big Day off because asfar as tours go, like they'd get
good money and obviously only have toplay like five cities. Yeah, it's
(20:59):
too own. And they would beon the weekends as well. So I
have a week off in between eachand a few days or whatever and just
go hang out, hang out,just go go surfing on the coast with
Pearl Jam got drunk on mopeds theGold Coast and stuff. Yeah. Yeah,
because that's because Dave Grohl has toevery time he comes into Australia,
(21:21):
he has to declare that he hasbeen arrested in the country before driving under
the influence exactly. Yeah, Andhe's just usually get to customs and they
ask what have I done, andit's just like I got drunken, went
on a moped and we all laughand then take a few photos with him
and then just move on. It'spretty much just every other Hawkins did too.
But he's off that now. Yeah, true Jesus or too soon?
(21:45):
Who soon? If it's someone youcare about, it it hurts it gets
me right here, it hurts metoo, but it's my way of coping.
Yeah, No, I agree,I just chrome, that's my name's
just getting over. I thought youwere covering from well eight pussy is a
piece of skin wrapped in a pocket. Now now we do have some other
(22:07):
tours to talk about. Boy andBear, Yes, boy and Bear.
I remember we interviewed them at fatAs Butter Music in Newcastle back in ages
ago. That can also yes,did you do that interview? Was one
of the girls? I think Ithink Crusty Yeah, well Crusty r Catherine
on one of the girls. AndI think we also did them again at
(22:30):
What's the one in Bendigo. Hada few chats with Boy Bear over the
years. Good Travels might have achat with them again soon, perhaps the
day motherfuckering again they are the MockerArcher and again they've got a whole bunch
of shows throughout September, October andNovember. Can I'm trying to be so
(22:52):
serious? Sorry, I thought Ididn't realize that was into the micro telephone.
You literally wrapped your mouth around themicro telephone. You were going all
all very black around it, andit was just that was a big bird.
It was a big bird. I'msorry, no disrespect to Boy and
Beer, but that that had tohappen. Can I have that? Boy
and Bear and Burp? That wasall has happened. It was one of
(23:14):
those ones. I can taste alittle bit of spuw. Really, Yeah,
I believe they call it a verb, which is like a vomit burp.
It's a verp, but it's notburp's narts from grown ups. You
haven't seen grown up, I think, so I can't remember fart and sneeze.
We've all been there. But yeah, So essentially, Boy and Bear.
(23:37):
They've released some songs from their albumHarlequin dream which didn't get released on
the actual album. So they've gota new EP called Lost Dreams because they
went on Harlequin Dreams though they wereLost Dreams. It all makes sense in
the wash. So they've got theirnew single Abraham. Now we don't.
We don't have music on our showanymore. We couldn't be paying appra Amcoss
(24:00):
anymore. So do yourself a favorite, stealing something else, do yourself as
solid, do yourself as solid,and go check it out right now maybe
wait till this the podcasts finished.We can't compete with Bob, we can't
compete with shit, We can't competewith a lot. But tell you what,
(24:22):
someone now, someone who we've featuredon Garage Rock twice before and who
knows, maybe in the future,could be Thrice. Bob Evans, oh
the luscious Bobby didn't. Yes,Kevin Mitchell from Jebbidia also Bob Evans.
He's doing a new tour which iswhen Kevin met Bob, and it's half
(24:45):
Jebbidyer half Bob Evans. I lovethis idea, and I also love the
artwork on the post though. It'sKevin Mitchell with like electric guitar and an
AMP and stuff, and then theother half Bob Evans with an acoustic guitar,
and I just think it's brilliant.I think it'd be so fun because
I think I've seen Bob Evans onlyonce and that was it the big day
(25:07):
out. Do you remember when newsplays Yep, yeah, I want to
say two thousand maybe norns. Itwas around then. I was around that
time. I remember, I think, so, why are you gyrating again
in front of me? Saw backin hips? Saw back in hips?
Yeah, saw hipping backs. Butyeah, Bob Evans, Yeah, so
(25:30):
it'd be awesome to see him again. But he's playing at the SPN Saint
Kilda, isn't he. Yeah,it's got quite a few shows coming up
this September and October, and acheecken one in Keyns in November as well.
That's where the baked beans ended upin cans and Jesus, I dropped
that fucking hook line walk and assoon as you said it, like I
(25:52):
think I've broke my nose, Iwalked into that hard. But yeah,
when seen looks so appointed in thisfile, oh god, it's I am.
I am disappointed in myself after thatserious unpucking hope. It's a time.
If I fell into a barrel ofnipples, I'd probably come out stuck
on my thumb. Anyway, WhenkeV met Bob the Anthology Concert Tour September
(26:18):
to November check out Bob Evans dotcom dot au for tickets and yeah,
have herself a good old time.That'd be awesome. I haven't seen a
gig at the sp Girlfriend Room fora long time, A long time.
I was there recently. Do Isee a loser? I think we're still
there. Yeah, I remember whenyears ago my old band played there and
(26:44):
we played at the St. KildaFestival before Kamal Kamal. There you go,
that's that's one that we supported.Kamal took met artists just supported.
Kamal would have to be right upthere. Oh definitely. The room was
packed for him and then we playedand it was empty. Would you prefer
a baby goat or a matter baby? What's what's a matter baby? Nothing
(27:10):
much sugar in yourself? Jesus sohard that I'm even more disappointed than before.
Matter? Would you man? Thatis? That is atrocious? So
there's this dad joke sessions now orsomething. I don't know, Christ,
(27:30):
I'm embarrassed. I am actually gonered. Oh I was already there,
let's face it. But oh actuallya woman. Sorry, I just got
excited. I saw an ad righton Instagram and now I just see it
all the time because that's how theworld works these days. Yeah, you
accidentally interact with something once, allof a sudden, it's following your home.
(27:52):
If you're not playing for the product, you are the product. Yes,
actually there's a lot of people,strange people following me home because I
mean we're you've come up north,we're recording it for the idea where I
am Steve. That is well,you're in my office surrounded with with my
food Fighter artwork and my Saints stuffeverywhere. And by the way, Karna
(28:15):
Saints Finals, Saint as Final.Yes, I can't wait to get kicked
out first round anyway, It's goingto be fun. But yeah, no,
there's so many just weird people upthe north who keep following me home.
There's a homeless guy right the way. If he was following me the
other day, he was already home, he was pretty much so he's got
(28:38):
his set up on the street andI've walked past. I had an ear
infection recently which wasn't good, andit didn't it didn't hurt, and then
I was just swearing your earphones,well, you should have remember to bring
your own next time. It's theonly thing I bring to this pip.
(29:00):
But don't you bring him? Bringthat you bring dad jokes? Anyway,
I've gone there and he's just like, look, he you need these ear
drops. And I was like,all right, fine, go to the
chemist, get me eardrops and this. I'd walk past this guy and he
was rolling a big fat joint asI walked past. I'm good on him.
It's four twenty somewhere. So Iwalking walking past get my ear drops
(29:22):
and I walk past the homeless guyagain on my way back to the car,
and he's got he's joint in hismouth and he's just like, oh
man, what's you got in thechemist bag man? And I'm like fucking
ear drops like and he's just like, can I have something? What are
you trying to get high frock?Yes? Of course, yeah, the
(29:45):
good old Jim Beam eardrops. Butno, we wanted to do you wanted?
And he was kept like walking afterme. He's he's like smoking his
mouth. He's just like, ma, what do you really got? I'm
like, fucking eardrops, leave mealone, and he just kept walking.
I'm like, Noah, and Ithink he walked into a pole or something.
I know, maybe you've lost range. You just stopped following me,
(30:06):
but I can't say you follow mehome anyway. Getting back this product I
saw, and this might interest you, right because I know you love beating
it. So there's this product Ifound and there these drum sticks and they've
got like haptic feedback and everything likethat. And you can play invisible drums
with these sticks, and you putyour headphones on and you've got a couple
(30:29):
of little pedals that you sort oflike well the buttons really with your feet,
so and you can play bass,you know, kick and your high
hats. And then you just movethese sticks around and it knows from where
your hands placing them, well,where you're hitting the sticks, and it
generates that sound into your headphones.Have you used them? I haven't,
but I'm very curious how much twohundred bucks really we're from the internet.
(30:55):
I don't know, but I justsaw this demo and I'm like, yeah,
this guy's like rock now and thenhe just touched Yeah, and you
can sound like the different kind ofa lot like sense yes, and this
time is but it's yet feedback.So when when you hit a snare and
it makes the noise, it givesyou a little feedback in your hands,
so it feels like you've hit somethingand everything, and I'm curious. But
(31:18):
it's kind of something that I thinkI'll play with for half an hour and
then never touch again. Perfect.Perfect, Get it, Steve, get
it so I can have it.I don't know, I want to.
I kind of want It's kind oflike VR when people get like PlayStation VR.
I'm like, oh, that's thatlooks cool and it's just like,
yeah, it's like seven hundred bucks, and I'm like, yeah, I'll
probably play it once in the mill, like you've got enough room in here,
(31:40):
you spend a bit of money andget a bloody electric drum kit.
That'd be sir. I don't know. I'd probably get over it pretty quickly
because I wouldn't be that good atit. And then it's just like,
oh, well that was good.Seven hundred bucks for an electronic drum kit.
Yeah, that's pretty much. Althoughthe one thing I could do is
(32:01):
this Stefana gotta Rushana. So anyway, we kind of we've we've hit the
wall. We are rambling. Isthere anything else you want to talk about?
(32:22):
Well, there was this one timewhen I was in prep and we
weren't allowed to pick up sticks,yeah, in school, and they're dangerous.
There was this guy, this kid, yeah, he wasn't a guy
because he was a kid. Yeah, and he bought a stick into the
classroom get fucked, and he deniedit even though he had it under a
(32:47):
ship. It was poking out likea fucking like docs palls. I thought
this story was going somewhere. Ithought it was at least going somewhere.
I can't believe how stupid that storyisn't funny. We're fun because because I
(33:08):

lost an eye because someone threw astick at him. So that was exactly
Let alone hide. I'm under yourjump. I'm pretending it's not there,
even though it's sticking out. That'swhat stick still with the fucking stick.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
